The RangePlus Wireless Network USB Adapter is the simple way to add or upgrade wireless connectivity in your desktop or notebook computer. Just plug it into your computer's USB port and enjoy incredible high-speed wireless network access while retaining true mobility. The RangePlus Wireless Notebook Adapter uses wireless networking technology to achieve extended range. Unlike ordinary wireless networking technologies that are confused by signal reflections- MIMO actually uses these reflections to increase the range and reduce "dead spots" in the wireless coverage area. The robust signal travels farther- maintaining wireless connections much farther than standard Wireless-G. And with MIMO- the farther away you are- the more speed advantage you get. It works great with standard Wireless-G and -B equipment- but when both ends of the wireless link use RangePlus technology- the throughput can be increased even more by using twice as much radio band. Once you're connected- you can keep in touch with your e-mail- access the Internet- and share files and other resources such as printers and network storage with other computers on the network- wherever you wander. At home- you can surf the web or use instant messaging to chat with friends while sitting out on the patio. You'll also be able to connect with any of the growing number of public hotspots springing up in coffee shops- airport lounges- hotels and convention centers. Your wireless connection is protected by industrial-strength WPA2 encryption. The included Setup Wizard will walk you through configuring the adapter to your network's settings- step by step. Get connected with fast throughput- reduced dead spots- and increased wireless range with the RangePlus Wireless Network USB Adapter from Linksys.

"Pros Easy install, Great range, Great Performance Cons Price.....could be a bit cheaper. Additional Thoughts I needed to cover my home which is fairly large. I started with the 54G which gave poor signal and speed at 30 feet away. I switched to the WRT110, which offered no increase in performance. I was then convinced by a Circuit City salesperson that I needed the WUSB300N to get the speed and range I was ..." Read Full Review »

Absolutely terrible

"I switched to this adapter after my last one got damaged, expecting it to work quite well with my Linksys router. How very wrong I was. The connection speed was slower than that of my previous adapter and it was hardly reliable. Every few minutes I would receive a major latency spike that made gaming impossible, and even basic web tasks impossible...." Read Full Review »
